Ideas and resources for a great garden

You wish to make a fresh and healthy organic garden. The timing is perfect, and it is time for you to begin. To follow is plenty of useful advice to get your organic garden underway.

Analyze the soil before you even get started with working in a garden. For a tiny fee, a soil analysis may be done, and based on the results, the soil can support a growing garden by you enriching it as necessary. It can avoid ruined vegetables and flowers, so check with places, such as a cooperative extension department to see where you can obtain the analysis.

Yes, you really have to weed. If you have weeds in your garden, it will not be as nice as it could be. White vinegar can be used as a natural herbicide. The acid in white vinegar kills weeds. You may also be using plants that need that very same acid. If you’re annoyed with pulling up weeds manually, douse them with a white vinegar solution.

Plant Bulbs

Plant bulbs if you want spring and summer flowers. Bulbs are hardy, easy to grow into flowers, and will blossom for several years. Plant bulbs that will bloom at various intervals to ensure beautiful flowers are growing in your garden all year long.

Your plants should always be kept in an aerated, dry area. If your plants get too moist, they may get sick or infested with parasites. Fungi is the most common parasite for plants. Proactively treat fungi through the use of fungicidal sprays and treatments.

Divide irises. Overgrown clumps of irises can be divided up to increase your numbers of this lovely flower. After the foliage dies, pick up bulbous irises. The bulbs often divide in your hand with no intervention on your part, and when you replant them, they will usually flower the following year. Use a knife to carefully divide rhizomes. Cut healthy pieces from the root stalk and throw out the dead center. A strong offshoot is needed on every piece that you decide to plant. Set your cuttings into the ground right away.

Produce Berries

Think about using evergreens in your yard that produce berries during the year. They add color to your yard, throughout the year. Some examples of evergreens that produce berries and color in the wintertime are the American Holly, Cranberrybush, the Winterberry and the Common Snowberry.
